Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Delete Subdomain Without Removing Files Or Database?
Aug 30, 2014
I cannot seem to find a conclusive answer to this. I use subdomains to create client websites then once they are in their own domains the subdomains still remain. Can I delete only the subdomain and leave all the files or at least leave the database since it is still connected to the new domain. Example below.
subdomain.example.com uses database1
newsite.com still uses database1
Is there a way to copy the database into the new domain?
I think the wrong text is displayed for the option "Remove Domain Alias".
In Plesk 11.5.30 Update #13, in a Webspace, on the Websites & Domains tab, if I click an alias, a window appears for the alias with the option to "Remove Domain Alias". If I move the cursor over the text "Remove Domain Alias", or click on the link, I see a pop-up: Removing this website will also delete all related files, directories, and web applications from the server.
I think this is incorrect because removing an alias should not remove any files, directories, and web applications.
I'm setting up a SAAS service which is built on top of Laravel. To put it simply the service itself knows whether its being called from a sub.example.com or just example.com and serves a correct response accordingly. So going to sub.example.com will use the same index.php file as example.com but the routes and controllers within the application will provide a different response. sub.example.com will show a tenant login page where as example.com will show a new tenant subscription page or something else.
So when someone new subscribes I add a new entry to the database with a subdomain name for them and when a request comes from that subdomain and they are logged in it will show them their information. Easy right.
There is a problem though with setting it up with Plesk. When I add a wildcard subdomain, it will look for /subdomains/sub/ for the files which is a bit problematic since I want it to serve the files from the same place as the domain example.com.
Is there a way to configure that so that regardless of the subdomain it will try and serve the exact same content as my main domain?
I had an hosting account with a copany, recently I migrated to VPS managed by plesk 11.5..I was able to get the awstats database file from the old host, and i have copied them in the /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/statistics/webstats/ folder, together with the other database files genereted by the new VPS hosting
Only problem is that plesk only rebuilds everyday the static page for the current month, and I see no way to ask him to build the pages for this past months. Also would be good if he would rebuild the header to have updated the dropdown menu from which to choose the month to dispay..Is it possible to rebuild manually these static pages?
When I use website copy function the website files are copied to another domain but the database remains on old site. I use this function to move the website from devel state to the production state. All sites work fine but when i schedule the backups all databases are saved on old domain. How to move the database on production domain?
I had a Problem with my FTP-Backup space, so PLESK couldn't do the daily backups that I configured. The problem with the ftp backup is solved. The backups are running again but there are still many large temporary files in a plesk folder.
Can I just delete them, or is this a bad idea?
The folder: C:Program Files (x86)ParallelsPleskPrivateTemp
I have noticed that i never install any program on my Server and my files of Web only 5 GB and Windows take 15 GB (My Hard Disk Usage 30 GB). Now my disk space available 1.7 GB. But when i go to check in the Recycler folder. There many files are taking up huge amounts of space, some are in excess of 10 GB . So could i deleting these files? How can I automatically delete contents of Recycler folder?
To automate some tasks for some projects I'm working on, I need to be able to automatically create or delete ftp-users.
Creating and listing ftp-accounts is working great, but when it comes to deleting them I run into an internal server error. Before my script gets the response it's waiting for, the script crashes.
- When live watching the Apache error-log with 'tail -f', the terminal-session is exited with 'Killed (core dumped)' - Apache error-log shows:
Code: (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, referer: http://example.com/ftp.php?action=delete Premature end of script headers: ftp.php, referer: http://example.com/ftp.php?action=delete - Webbrowser shows default '500 Internal Server Error'
I have checked and changed time-out settings, but it didn't work. Error occurs a few seconds after executing, while the timeouts are set to 60 to 90 seconds.
Something weird happening here. I have tried every string possible...
There are a number of folders I want to remove off my server, tried the good old and simple...
rm -r /folder/
And then went and ended up with a string as long as my screen. No matter what I do, as it goes recursive in to the directory it asks me if I want to remove each file individually. No matter what string or action I take it insists on asking me as it goes to delete each file.
I have 2 IPs for my vServer. Plesk automatically add both addresses to the Plesk Panel. One of the ip address I want to use for another service (openvpn). The Problem is, that i can't delete the IP from the Plesk panel.
I got the message: Fehler: String was provided for unescaped parameter host.
There are no reseller or customers who use this IP. So how can i solve this problem and delete the IP from the Panel?
I can not delete only a Domain and replace it with a other Domain. There is just the possibility to delete the Domain incl. the data. The Problem is i have 2 Domains that point to the same root-directory. And now i was making a new website in a other directory. And now i want to use one of this domain for my new website. But i can't change it. Also if i change the document root, the website d'ont use the new domainname - it makes like a redirection to the old domainname.
When I update servers via CLI autoinstaller, I always (afair) get this mysqldump error message:
Code:
Stopping psa... * Stopping Plesk engine pool manager sw-engine-fpm ...done. done -- Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event. Specify the --events option explicitly.
mysqldump: Got error: 1049: Unknown database 'atmail' when selecting the database

Reading package lists...
There is no database "atmail" on any of our Plesk servers. Simple solution should be to first check if the DB exists before performing actions on it.As a bonus, perhaps it would be possible to suppress the warning about mysql.event.
Impossible to delete my PTR record (DNS) on a domain name. Message error: Impossible de restaurer la zone DNS : une erreur s'est produite en ajoutant l'enregistrement (IPv6 du serveur) IN none mondomaine.fr. : Des valeurs incorrectes ont été indiquées pour l'enregistrement DNS.
This happens when I try to add a new domain or when I am trying to remove a domain. It just hangs, the browser says waiting on server while plesk just hangs. This is a fresh new install of Plesk 12 as well. I added a bunch of new domains tonight. No crazy changes or anything to plesk. I have found nothing so far in my search.
My default certificate expired recently. I created a new certificate "default certificate 2".
I used this certificate for "Secure the Panel"
I went to "Tools and Settings" -> "IP addresses" and made this certificate the default for all the IPs. On the page "Tools and Settings" -> "SSL certificates", it says Used: 0 next to "default certificate".
But when I try to delete it, it tells me: "Error: Unable to remove certificates: one or several certificates are assigned to the IP addresses/domains."
Is there anywhere I can check where this certificate is still used?
I have done many tests and always fails.= Plesk 9.5 to Plesk 12 =
I perform a migration with several domains from Plesk 9.5 and Plesk 12, it runs well. Then I remove all the migrated domains in Plesk 12 server. Then I perform a new migration with the same domains from the same server with Plesk 9.5 to the same server with Plesk 12 and it fails.The reason is that Plesk 12 doesn't remove the databases attached to the subscriptions. The new migration tries to deploy the databases and it can't because the same databases with the same users are deployed already.
I tried to remove the databases with `plesk bin database` and it was not enough. Maybe the same error will show when you migrate from Plesk 11.5/12 to Plesk 12.
We have a lot of server with Plesk Panel 30 domains.We have migrated a website with a 2 Go disk space quota on a virtual server with Web Admin Plesk Panel License. So, we don't have field (or we don't find...) to update this value (or delete it). The website disk usage is now 2.1 Go. Every day, we have an email alert.
Although running >> /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --info dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com >> shows the 'ecz1' TXT record exists for "dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com" : ... ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com. TXT ecz1
[Code] ....
The issue can be caused by extra spaces in the TXT record:
Code: [root@a10-52-143-28 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --add dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com -txt 'ecz1 ' -domain ecz1 SUCCESS: Creation of DNS record in Domain 'dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com' complete. [root@a10-52-143-28 ~]# /usr/local/psa/bin/dns --del dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com -txt 'ecz1' -domain ecz1 Unable to del record in DNS server: unable to find DNS record
In the following example I have 3 such TXT records with 3, 5, 7 extra spaces and remove record with 3 spaces:
Code: [root@a10-52-143-28 ~]# mysql -u admin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa -e "select host, val, (length(val) - length(rtrim(val))) as extraspaces from dns_recs where host='ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com.' and val like 'ecz1%'" +---------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | host | val | extraspaces | +---------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com. | ecz1 | 5 | | ecz1.dev.sname.c002.aname.domain.com. | ecz1 | 3 |
I'm planning on hosting some websites for customers. I am using Plesk 12. So far so good.
Now here's the problem. For some reason my host by default doesn't offer subdomains (unless I buy a more expensive package). Will this cause any problems? For example webmail.mydomain.com won't work because it uses a subdomain.
Will there be another way for customers to access their webmail?
After I post my desired subdomain as mysubdomain.domain.com on /mysubdomain.domain.com/
I get "Error: phpinimng failed: Usage: phpinimng [options] [php_ini_file] phpinimng: error: no such option: --global-config" on main window.
Tried to search how to fix this error, i managed to find that there is also " missing or incorrect /usr/local/sb/include/init.php ". As for this error this doesn't work [URL] .... It's already correct permission 755.
The subdomain appears only in DNS records on my domain. But not in the main plesk panel window.
OS is Debian 7.6 and Plesk 11.5, mysql runs over sock
Maybe I could create manual configuration over ssh in /var/www/vhost/ dir ..?
